Leland on Specifications:
This film is all swinging, all the time. Throughout Skagit Master 2’s 110 minutes of on-the-water footage, Scott Howell, infamous guide and steelhead guru, reveals the latest innovative techniques he has developed over the years to catch steelhead on the swing in places and ways that break from the mold, of the simple down-and-across swing across classic runs, that many of us in the swinging world have been cemented in for a long time. Hearing Scott explain how he developed the Ska-opper for popping and chugging atop the chaotic currents of the North Umpqua, and then seeing him put it into action with explosive results, is something to inspire creative, outside-the-box thinking in us all. Then, as he walks you through his techniques for swinging the depths, you will learn how to effectively fish the deep slots, awkward pockets, and complex currents that you have probably either been not covering effectively, or ignoring altogether. Skagit Master 2 contains a wealth of valuable information and instruction, plus the hookups, topwater grabs, and other fish porn to keep your ears and eyes wide open.
